Dan_Turism0 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I know when something sounds too cheap it probably is but still.....anyone know of this one? Granted no MOT or Tax but still it's bloody cheap http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/supra/toyota-supra-aerotop-single-turbo-6-speed/1561206 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Single turbo with 550 injectors & no mention of ECU!! Does look tidy & VERY cheap for a 6 speed Aerotop... though alarm bells do ring when a car has no MOT or Tax at this price. Also the background looks very familiar!!

Dan_Turism0 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 granted but still it could turn out to be a very cheap buy "IF" it's all well and good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 granted but still it could turn out to be a very cheap buy "IF" it's all well and good This is true, I cant see a brand on the turbo, manifold or exhaust ? Cheap T67 copy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 No mileage mentioned, and is it just me or is that gear knob sat high? Obviously it's been converted as it's an aero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusEJ Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 i was generally browsing past the sale section as thought the same a long time ago.. just been through my txts and this is what he sent me when I had my query as to the price set. this was his response " the reason the car is up so cheap is because the valve system seal need doing and it also needs a new flywheel as the dual mass is beginning to rattle when not under load so I am open to any offers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusEJ Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I then asked for an estimate on £ His response via txt " yes the stems seals replaced by Toyota is around £500-600 and a new flywheel is around £300 but aftermarket lightweight ones can be bought for not much more" hope this helps guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 ahhh good to know but even with that done it's still pretty good value and could be a cheap buy if i were in a position to buy one i'd certainly go and have a look as i'm sure you could haggle on the price too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesard Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 What front bumper is that? Me likey very much and if I get my new supra, will be my bumper of choic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I then asked for an estimate on £ His response via txt " yes the stems seals replaced by Toyota is around £500-600 and a new flywheel is around £300 but aftermarket lightweight ones can be bought for not much more" hope this helps guys VSS done by Toyota will be more than double that. I paid over £1000 to have mine done including parts and labour, granted I got a few other bits done at the same time as well. That was without taking the head off as well. Best bet is to buy the full head gasket kit from what a Toyota dealer told me.

It needs a decent ECU, bigger injectors, Adjustable FPR, something other than the Chinese turbo, VSS, Flywheel, MOT, Tax, plus god knows what else. There is at least £5k needed to be spent and that's before addressing any other issues that might need doing. Oh and I doubt it was a shell swap, so will still probably be on NA hubs and the works.

hodge Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 That's an N/A converted with a UK TT engine. My guesses are its a UK box and diff too. You'd make more than 9k stripping the car for sure. If I have the cash lying around I'd be all over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
